Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disorder
ed liver is misery. Indigestion is a
foe to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and
wonderful things in existence. 1t is
easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food. bad habits, and many other
things which ought not to be, have
made the American people a nation
of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that
they can enjoy their meals and be
happy.
Remember:-No happiness with
out health. But Green's August
Flower brings health and happiness
to the dyspeptic. Ask your drug
gist for a bottle. Severity five cents.

FATALRAILROAD ACCIDENT
Near Cameron i'm which Three People
are Killed and Many Injured.

The third section of emigrant
train SO, Baltimore & Ohio railroad,
going west at o'clock Wednesday
morning, collided with freight train
SO, bound east, one mile east of
Easton siding. Engineer AL Smith
and his fireman, Isaac Arbuthnot,
of the emigrant train, were picked
out of the debris of splintered cars
and bent and broken iron dead few
minutes later, while engineer Pat
Fitzgerald and fireman John Shay,
of the freight train, were found near
by only slightly hurt.
The engines were found to be
crushed into mass of broken iron
and both irreparably ruined. The
baggage car and two passenger
coaches of the emigrant train were
splintered and shivered and lay scat
tered for hundred yards on both
sides of the track. Three freight
cars with their contents of miscel-
laneous freights were scattered over
an acre of ground, while three other
freight cars were so badly mashed
that their contents were bursting
out of score of vents
Captain Charles Dunlap, Superin-
tendent of the Western Division of
the B. & o., was in Wheeling when
he was informed of the accident, and
at once started for it's scene with
wrecking train and necessary COM
forts for the injured. He spent the
entire day after he had seen to the
comfort Of the injured in clearing
the track of the debris, and it was
not till six o'clock that trains began
to pass through again.
A Baltimore & Ohio official, at a
late hour last night, said the respon-
sibility of this collision rests upon
the dispatcher at Grafton. There
were four sections of the train to be
run. One of them, the first, started
from Cameron, the second from Fair
mont, and the other two were the
Eastern connections. He transmit
ted orders for the passage of these
trains, leaving out of his reckoning
altogether the first section. The re-
suit was that the crew of the freight
train had orders to pass the third
section of the emigrant train at Cog
ley's switch. Thus it happened that
when the two sections had passed
Easton the freight pulled out and
started at full speed for Cogley's.
1t had only gone a mile when it
struck the third section. This is
the whole story.
The scene of the present accident
is also that Of one which took place
eight or ten years ago, when an en-
igrant train jumped the track, in
which quite number were killed
and great many injured.
A telegram was received at late
hour Wednesday night announcing
tho death Of one Of the female emf
grants at Cameron, at o'clock. 1t
i not thought that any others will
die.

The difference between tariff re-
formers and internal revenue abol-
ishers has been rather pointedly put
by the Washington Post as being
one between those who favor free,
untaxed sideboard and those who
favor free, untaxed wardrobe.
Those who oppose reduction of the
tariff are for free liquor, and those
who propose to continue the tax on
whisky are for giving the people
free, untaxed clothing instead
That's about the size of it.

Here We Are, MIR. Mayor, With
n Suggestion


The solution of very simple
problem in mathematics might be
of advantage to the town.
1t is conceded that little work,
more or less, is necessary every year
to keep the streets and alleys in con-
dition.
A little work, more or less-gen-
orally less, is done every year in this
behalf. True, it is not done till it
can't be longer avoided, but it is
done, all the same.
1t is done, too, when tits done, all
in squirt. A half hozen or more
hands are put to work and the
streets are scratched over all within
q few days. For two months, there
fore, the condition is respectable,
and for the other ten months sloven-
ly and dirty.
The mathematical problem we de-
duce from this state of facts is this
"Would it cost more tohave the same
amount of work done when it is need
ed than to have it done only when
II can't be avoided?
In other words, would it not be
unite as economical and busineaa

NATIONAL COMMAND,
UNION VETERANS UNION.
ELIGIBILITY:
Service at the Front, Honorable Dis
charge and Good Character.
To the Editor Of the Register:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 81.
Dear Editor Please send me, il
you have put it in print, your side
of the late disgraceful proceedings
caused by the G. A. r. in your city.
1t is very unfortunate that such
an organization, composed as it
largely is of genuine soldiers, should
put themselves before the public in
the attitude of non partisans, and at
the same time act as the bull does
when a red handkerchief is held be-
fore his eyes-at the sight of dem
ocratic presidential picture.
The dependent pension bill is the
cause of all this fuss. Who wants
that bill to pass2 Certainly not the
soldier at the front, and it would
seem as those who served at their
own door steps ought not to receive
said pensions.
That body of Union Veterans, into
whose ranks none can come without
battlefield experience, who passed
under the picture showed horse
sense and should be endorsed by the
people at large Of both parties. A
genuine soldier who offered his life
on the altar of his country will not
insult the President Of the United
States. Yours truly,
A. A. DILLON.

1t appears that the Grand Army
people regard it as unpatriotic to
salute Democratic President.
They recognize no American citizen
as eligible to the presidency but a
Republican. 1t will be long spell
before that kind of people have a
President to suit them. But the
government will go right along, all
the same.

We are informed that in some por-
tons Of the county the roads are still
in bad condition and in a few places
almost impossible. The present is
about the best time Of the year for re-
pairing because now there is no
danger of freezing and but little, that
as soon as the work is done dashing
rain will come and undo it. Work on
the roads now will harden before the
heavy Summer rains ard is likely to
stand. To the community good roads
are of much more benefit than may
at first appear. Our county is at
tracing the attention of investors and
good roads are one of the greatest in
ducements that can be offered to a
prospective farm buyer. If there are,
as reported, such bad places on the
roads, the first duty Of the neighbors
10 to call the fact to the notice Of the
supervisor; if he pays no attention to
the complaint, then bring the matter
before the Commissioner Court. The
recent destruction Of Mr.. Guyther' g
buggy and the suit against the county
which will probably result therefrom
forcibly calls attention to this subject.
During Winter, as hard as the one
just passed, it is next to impossible to
keep st. Mary county roads in repair.
During the present weather, however,
they may be fixed up and it would be
well for the county if the work were
done before more vehicles are broken
down in attempting to pass over the
rough places.
